3/86 No.81 and former meeting
- room at rear

- II

House; the solar block of a high-quality house of early C15, the major part of
which is contained within Nos.83 and 85 High Street. Alterations of c.1600
and C19. Timber-framed and plastered. Plaintiled roof with rear C16 chimney
of red brick. 2 windows, 2 storeys. C19 small-pane sashes and recessed 4-
panelled entrance door. The range is of unusual form, with a single ground
storey room beneath a narrow solar with ante-room to left. The plain
crownpost roof to the latter survives, in line with the hall roof. The roof
above the solar, apparently once of narrow cross-wing form, has been rebuilt.
A cambered tie-beam in the 2-bay solar has thick arch-braces whose pilasters
have been cut away. At ground storey is a massive chamfered and knee-braced
bridging joist. A rear C17 2-storey wing has an ovolo-moulded 1st floor beam.
A single-storey wing further to rear contains a vacant meeting room formerly
used by the Plymouth Brethren. It is of C16/C17 origin, timber-framed and
plastered, with early C19 small-pane sashes. Early C19 battened and boarded
entrance door; the head of the doorway is ogee-arched in the late C14 manner.

Images of England

These photographs of the exterior of listed buildings were taken by volunteers between 1999 and 2008. The project was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund.
